The existence of cloud->butt is kind of humorous. "Look, this thing is overhyped by people who don't understand it. What if we :s/cloud/butt/g, but like in an addon?" Yeah, I get it. Very clever.
I don't understand actually using it though. I mean, I sort of get it. Perhaps, deep down, everyone is easy to amuse; it's just a question of what domain are they easily amused by. But do you really want to give yourself programmatic word aphasia?
Doing it a second time, years later, feels more strange. Like watching a child who copies a joke made by an adult without understanding the structure or semantics of the joke, I find myself nervously smiling at the presentation before me.
And then you come along, "AWS employees ... extension installed ... wrecked havoc ...". Yes, that seems like a predictable result. Thank you for your anecdote, I kind of expected that to be the case and it at least feels good to hear that my understanding of the world matches someone's experience.

The proof of this is in math class where people struggle with word problems. You are in the category of people that get it from description only. Have empathy for the people that need to see it in action. Also, you know, it's fun. Don't ruin it for others because you can't/won't/don't
- Verdex 4y ago> Have empathy for the people that need to see it in action. With the full context of my comment, I feel that I've given sufficient empathy for people who aren't me. > I mean, I sort of get it. Perhaps, deep down, everyone is easy to amuse; it's just a question of what domain are they easily amused by. Is this not an allowance? > Also, you know, it's fun. Don't ruin it for others because you can't/won't/don't I hope I wasn't ruining anyone's fun by being unable to properly comprehend how they choose to have it and verbalizing that incomprehension. Although, if speaking with uncertainty about a topic is enough to ruin someone's fun, then I feel I should note that I find fun in making overly wordy comments about how I don't understand other people. I implore you not to ruin my fun because you can't/won't/don't. Although, I suspect my fun has never wrecked an internal wiki. I'll leave it to historians to judge between my fun and theirs.
- vlunkr 4y agoThe fun thing about cloud->butt for me was that is showed up infrequently enough that I would forget about it and occasionally be really confused. Like when a company called cloudplugs showed up on tech news sites. Everyone needs a little chaos in their work day.
- notfish 4y agoI like to play a game with my future self by laying down little traps I know I’ll fall into and be confused by. I call it singleplayer pranking, it’s great!
- l3uwin 4y agoI've had friends install it on various machines maily as a prank - and I laugh like I'm 12 every time.
